Will Oldham Reveals New Project: Babblers!

Consequence of Sound has posted a juicy bit of news! Will Oldham played a small, unpublicized show debuting his new band, simply called Dabblers, in Chattanooga, TN on Thursday November 30th.

Mr. Oldham, who also is known as Bonnie Prince Billy, joined singer Angel Olsen, who is taking the alias Angela Babbler for the project, hit up Discoteca, and played a set to about 150 people. The Chattanooga-based blog Chattarati was there and has posted a video clip and feature on the show.

Mr Oldham, who is currently on tour as Bonnie Prince Billy & The Cairo Gang, will be opening each night with a short set among the Babblers.
